Vauxhall Vivaro, Renault, Nissan Vans
morning
Last week i changed a slave cylinder on a Vauxhall Vivaro van (same vans as the renault & Nissan)
now the problem, the bloke i done it for says that the gearbox is really notchy going from 1st to 5th, before the slave went he said he used to be able to change gear using one finger as it was so smooth
anyone come across this before? i'm pretty sure i routed the gear cables correctly
also, anyone got autodata to check the grade of oil for the box?

whats is it with gearboxs on those vans, i look at the price of salvage ones they make fooking loads, so spose the engines are worth money too which means they also must go for a past time

i had one of these vans for 2 weeks and learnt my lesson, bought a 05 toyota hiace not quick but given me no trouble, the amount of these vans for sale with gearbox faults, surely vauxhall should of did a recall.

you havent filled the gearbox to the level of the fill bung have you, sounds the same as what i did made the gearbox very tight, dain it out and put in 2.6 ltrs of 75w/80w.
but as said above have also changed the clutch master cylinder and the gearboxs do shit them selfs quite often.

Ive done three clutches now and each time ive had to change the master cylinder on the pedal.
Just make sure if you do another to change it all, clutch, concentric and master cant go wrong then.
£24 for the master cylinder from vauxhall so no big deal.
Crap van imo, we have had atleast 4 in broken down with crank sensor wiring faults too.

whilst the discussion about these vans are here, anyone know why my pals one wont rev if the cluth is pressed in then revs freely when in neutral at idle. He cant pull away without 'slippin the clutch' but wil cruise like nothings wrong when it gets its speed up. Its very dangerous at pullin away , gearbox works fine !!!

as for the gearbox i put a 80 weight oil in and 2.6l so i think that was alright
cheers all for your replies, and yeah these vans are shite; people buy them because they are quite nice to drive

no more Granada's for me
I picked up numerous vivaros with fucked gearboxes when i did recovery, they just lock up. mostly had to use skates to get then off the truck and in the dealer.. they seem to only last about 60 to 80 thousand mile

Dont know why but my old transit and my current expert both do it as well, wont rev over 3k with the clutch pushed in, wonder if its to save the clutch to much abuse (i.e. fit cheaper clucthes as standard)?

It's to stop people abusing the fuck out of them and fucking the DMF usually, a rev limit of 3000 rpm so people cant do 5000rpm launches.
